  • A Mayor and Assembly for London: 10 Years On
    2 July 2010 A Mayor and Assembly for London: 10 years on Tony Travers and Christine Whitehead A brief history… It is 10 years since the Greater London Authority was created as a metropolitan or regional tier of government for London. There have been five different arrangements of ‘upper tier’ government in the capital since the Metropolitan Board of Works (MBW) was created in 1855 to build infrastructure. The MBW was succeeded by the London County Council (LCC), a powerful authority for the inner part of the contemporary city. Within this area 28 metropolitan boroughs and the City of London delivered ‘local’ services. Two factors were particularly important in influencing the progress of London’s government. First, the physical expansion of the city created demands for provision across a wider area than the City of London’s original and long-evolved ‘square mile’. The Metropolitan Police Service was created by the government in 1829 to meet the law and order requirements of a fast-growing city. The squalor and chaos of the London of the 1850s prompted Parliament to legislate for London’s first-ever metropolitan government, an indirectly-elected entity. Further physical expansion between the end of the 19 th century and 1939 generated a debate about the need for a ‘Greater London’ government 1. The second important factor in determining the kinds of institutions that emerged was the local power and parochialism of both the City of London and the parish-based or ad hoc bodies that developed to deliver services in the absence of a city-wide government.

  • London As a City-State* Derek Keene Centre for Metropolitan History, Institute of Historical Research
    MetropolitanBlackwellOxford,HISRHistorical0950-3471©November774Original Blackwell UKArticle ResearchPublishing, comparisons:2004 Publishing LondonLtd. 2004 as a city-state comparisons: London as a city-state* Derek Keene Centre for Metropolitan History, Institute of Historical Research Abstract This article explores ideas associated with the term ‘metropolis’, especially when used concerning London, and then takes the notion of the city-state as a heuristic device to identify recurrent and fundamental characteristics of this particular metropolis. The comparisons are between successive phases in London’s history, including the present; between London and other metropolises; and between London and that elusive ideal type, the ‘city-state’. Now pat London is neuenyd – hatte pe New Troie – Pe metropol and pe mayster-town hit euermore has bene St. Erkenwald, ll. 25–6.1 In this neat but presumably unconscious exercise in comparative metropolitan history the late fourteenth-century poet identifies London by reference to a historic and supposedly ancestral ideal – Troy – and to enduring features of the city itself. His (the poet is likely to have been a man) approach offers a model for that adopted in this article. Rather than compare London to other metropolises according to a defined set of criteria (one of the most frequently-adopted methods in comparative history), I have chosen to highlight some of the city’s essential qualities by setting it against an ideal type and by comparing London with itself over successive phases of its long history. As an ideal type the city-state is both suitably provocative in relation to London and sufficiently fuzzy for the comparison to be profitable.

  • City of London Newcomer Strategy 2018-2023
    Choose London - Innovative, Vibrant and Global City of London Newcomer Strategy 2018-2023 london.ca/NewcomerStrategy Message from Steering Committee Co-Chairs 1 Executive Summary 3 Background 5 Defnitions, Vision and Mission 9 London’s Newcomer Landscape 12 Main Findings 30 Newcomer Strategy 40 Targeted Outcomes 44 Work Plan 47 Endnotes 61 Message from Steering Committee Co-Chairs Newcomers to Canada play a vital role in the country’s economic, social and cultural success. Attracting, integrating and retaining Newcomers is key to propelling the country to sustainable economic prosperity. To successfully achieve this, a Newcomer Strategy cannot be the sole domain of the federal and provincial governments, but must also be forged and driven from the local level. Municipalities are at the heart of the newcomer experience and they, along with community partners, have important levers at their disposal to make a positive difference in attracting, integrating and retaining Newcomers. Adopting a strategy is a necessary step for cities to lead the way in making such a positive difference. We commend London City Council for recognizing the importance of putting in place a Newcomer Strategy as an impetus for City Council, the Corporation of the City of London and the community at large to lead the charge at the ground level. This sends a strong message to all stakeholders that the City of London and its community stakeholders are committed to forging a strong economic, societal and cultural future 1 for the city and region, fostering community and regional partnerships, and adopting best practices in “Newcomers to attracting, integrating and retaining Newcomers.

  • City of London Draft Transport Strategy
    City of London Draft Transport Strategy Introduction Living Streets is the UK charity for everyday walking. We want a nation where walking is the natural choice for everyday local journeys. Our mission is to achieve a better walking environment and inspire people to walk more. The City of London is renowned throughout the world as the financial, historical and physical centre of the capital. With 480,000 of people entering the City everyday it is the densest part of London in terms of pedestrian movements, with the vast majority of trips in the City already being made by foot but with pedestrians often having the least the amount of space on the City’s streets. This combined with future forecasts of increases in the number of visitors, rising numbers of transport connections in the City and plans for future building development, the demand for space on the streets is only going to increase. With these future plans there is a need for a forward thinking pedestrian led Transport Strategy to ensure that the City of London remains the thriving economic heart of London and the most walking friendly place in London and the world. As a key partner and stakeholder, with a current Service Level Agreement with the City of London, Living Streets very much looks forward to working with the City on the delivery of the Strategy into the future and welcomes future discussions to ensure that the square mile is a great place for people and to walk. Summary of Living Streets’ response As the UK charity for everyday walking, Living Streets fully supports and welcomes the City’s innovative Transport Strategy, which throughout its proposals strongly focuses on the needs of people and walking in the square mile.
